Michael Thompson submitted a 1-under-par 34-35=69 for his opening round of The Honda Classic, checking in one swing adrift of the clubhouse lead.

The 2013 champ missed the cut in his title defense, but he had little trouble looping PGA National today. He split nine (of 14) fairways and hit 13 greens in regulation. It yielded three birdies, the longest measuring 16'7" at the par-4 14th hole. Thompson also salvaged bogey at the par-3 17th, pouring in his fourth stroke from 10'9". He entered the week slotted 158th in the FedExCup standings with just one top-65 finish, but this is his calling card. He's quiet most of the season except for a small handful of events where he contends. It's a page right out of the books of Scott Stallings and Andres Romero. Feb 26 - 12:39 PM

Michael Thompson chased his opening 65 at the Farmers Insurance Open with a 1-over-par 38-35=73 to post 6-under 138 at the break.

Thompson split just five (of 14) fairways, but he hit 12 greens in regulation today. Yet, he played his first 13 holes in birdie-free 4-over with four bogeys. So, he may actually feel pretty good that he strung three birdies together beginning at the par-4 fifth hole to climb back into contention. He's four strokes adrift of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

Michael Thompson spun a 7-under-par 33-32=65 in his opening round of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines North and sits one strokes of the clubhouse lead.

He overcame piping only five (of 14) fairways with 15 greens in regulation. He circled a field-high eight birdies, including two to both begin and end the round. Thompson cashed in his last three starts, the first of the stretch also beginning with a 65 at Seaside, but he's gone eight starts without a top 60 on the board. His next step at ending that drought will be conducted on the South Course in the second round. Feb 5 - 8:57 PM

Michael Thompson conjured up a 4-under-par 35-32=67 in the opening round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Thompson was 1-over at TPC Scottsdale through 11 holes, with a 19'11 birdie on the par-4 second hole the only bright spot. He flipped a switch starting on the par-3 12th and rattled off five birdies over his final seven holes. Four of those five birdies fell from between 11 and 23 feet, meaning the putter was clearly the key to his success. In fact, his strokes gained: putting was 4.099 at the moment of his posting.
